Candi Murray/Oregon Bicycle Racing Assn

There has been some concern about the past alleged drafting of riders,

especially tandems during the time trial championships. Here is the OBRA

rule on drafting.



17.5.5 No rider may ride closer than 25 meters behind and 2 meters to the

side of another rider. A rider attempting to pass another rider must

complete the pass within 500 meters, otherwise he must drop back at least 25

meters behind the other rider.



I will address any incident individually but my gut feeling that anyone

caught drafting will be immediately disqualified.



And on starts.



17.5.4 A rider arriving late at the start will only be allowed to start if

it does not interfere with a scheduled start.





If you have any other questions on this please feel free to contact me.
